Trump is determined to turn country into repressed authoritative country with military suppressing citizens. People are aware nor and fighting back. Military swore to protect citizens per constitution. They must be reminded

I live in Portland, OR. I am VERY happy to hear my state is suing to block National Guard deployment. It is totally unneeded and uncalled for.

Fear is how they think they exhibit control. I refuse to be afraid of goons that cover their faces so their kids don't know what kind of work daddy does. Must be fun on "show and tell day. The National Guard needs to save war ravaged Portland while the East Coast is destroyed by storms. My head hurts.

Salary of 100k with a 50k signing bonus! Teachers could dream of getting that kind of salary! Unfortunately this is a country where education isn’t valued much compared to the prom king or queen or the local football star…

Trump send the National Guard into Portland, Oregon. To distract Americans from all the mistakes he and his administration made. The biggest mistake he made was Kerr County. Flash flooding killed over 130 individuals. Early Friday, 4th of July. FEMA and Kerr county officials. Should have evacuated them. Thursday afternoon. When it wasn’t raining. For some of the National Guard wasn’t deployed. In Fort McClellan, Alabama. I was attending Advanced infantry school. And October 1969. I was told to spend a couple hours. For tornado watch.

The city of Portland and the state of Oregon are right in filing lawsuits against trump and his MAGA Mafia, as every other city that has been harassed by ICE 'agents' and troops has had to experience greater problems when there was an armed presence. trump is hellbent on staying in power even beyond this term, which is his last one.

He wants a third term in office; yet, the only term he should have gotten is a lifetime prison stay.

This is a good press conference. Could be a little more succinct and less defensive, but good. It would be nice to see the head of state national guard standing there too. That’s the only major gap.’.

Nothing, not even war in Venezuela, can distract from Epstein more than guns fired and a body count. They are trolling for just that.

Trump’s military invasion of Portland and other Blue Cities has nothing to do with crime rates. Trump’s intent: execute a coup to replace the USA’s Constitutional Republic with a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.

Donald Trump began his coup by attempting to prevent a joint session of Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. When his insurrection failed, he pardoned the violent criminals who—in response to his call—had attacked the 1/6/2021 Joint Session of Congress.

Some of these vicious criminals are now ICE deployed bounty-hunters directed by Donald Trump to ignore due process, kidnap People of Color, and make them disappear before the Courts can learn of their existence.

Trump has appointed leaders of his failed 1/6/2021 Insurrection to major posts in his criminal administration. His MAGA base includes criminals—he pardoned—working as ICE’s Gestapo, it includes an irretrievably corrupted Supreme Court, it includes criminals serving in the President’s Cabinet, hundreds of corrupt Republican Members of Congress, thousands of corrupt Republican office-holders, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People-of-Color.

Led by the lifelong racist Donald Trump, these MAGA racists are working with Trump to end America’s Constitutional Republic.

The overwhelming majority of Americans reject Trump, his MAGAts, the crimes they have committed, and the crimes they continue to commit. This majority will not rest until Trump is impeached, removed from office, prosecuted, convicted, and thrown into prison.

Trump wants credit for being the fire department at his own arson crime scene. Rinse. Repeat. None of this is normal.
